I am not a native speaker of Spanish or Italian but I am a native speaker of French. French just so happens to have so much similar vocabulary with Spanish and Italian. I started learning Spanish when I began secondary school at the age of 12. I didn't know at the time that Spanish is really similar to French and very instantly I realised the similarities. I live in an English speaking environment so very quickly I was doing better than everybody else in my own class since nobody in my class spoke a language more similar to Spanish. Spanish also instantly became my best subject in school. When I was 16 I studied in Spain for a month and I got the chance to speak to locals in Spanish and I was quite good at it. I'm 18 now and still learning Spanish. I also began learning Italian when I was 16 through Duolingo since I love Italy and yeah I'm also still learning Italian to this day and have also already seen many similarities between French and Italian. I was 14 the last time I was in Italy but I really hope to go back there and speak the language. Some people these days are jealous that I can speak both English and French fluently!

Originally the first tomatoes imported to Europe were yellow. Since they looked to them like “apples” then they were called “golden apples” (in Italy). Spanish borrowed the Aztec word for it… tomatl. With potatoes the original word was “papa”, commonly used in Latin America and the Canary Islands but the Catholic Church which was very powerful back then objected and it was then called “patata” in most of Peninsular Spain. I loved the video. Thank you.

It's interesting how Italian stretches the vowel sounds while Spanish uses a very short, quick vowel pronunciation. Considering their common ancestry, I always find the differences in the Romance languages very interesting.

[@davidkasquare]

One big difference between Italian and Spanish is that Italian has a big difference between long and short sounds and syllables, whereas Spanish really doesn’t differentiate that much. That makes Italian more “bouncy” sounding and Spanish more even, a little bit like an engine. There are not many languages that makes this big difference between the long and short sounds, funnily enough that would be the Nordic and Scandinavian languages, especially Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish.

In Italian there's the word "sugo" which is similar to jugo and it means "sauce". We say "sugo" just when we indicate the sauce we use for pasta. We call it "pasta al sugo" or "pasta al pomodoro". They are synonyms. The word for "juice" is "succo" which is similar to "sugo", but it indicates strictly fruit juice (juice which is not made from vegetables and is meant to be enjoyed while drinking it instead of putting it into food).

The Spanish language borrowed the word tiburón from the Carib Indians(Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico etc), and, later, the English borrowed tiburón from the Spanish and used it for about 100 years. In the late sixteenth century, the English borrowed the word "xoc"(pronunciation: shock) from the Mayans and it became the English word "shark". The song she sings at 7:47 is a popular one called "El Tiburón" by 90s Dominican merenhouse(merengue/house music) group "Proyecto Uno".

[@martinezcolonh]

Italian and Spanish are to forms of vulgar Latin; the main difference I think it comes when Spanish have added a word from a different language like Arabic; Taino, or any of the other American tribes they came into contact with. We think of words as being from the Spanish Language, but a lot of words have origins in a different Language so it would make sense that they would be a lot different than the Latin word.

Hahaha, both of them got really clumsy when they forgot the definition of apostrophe (apóstrofo). The word "tiburon" has an uncertain origin.

Fun fact: We had to make our final thesis about tomato productivity in Peru, so we learned that Pomo doro (Golden apple) is called that way because the first tomatoes that were taken to Europe from the Americas (mainly from Mexico, others will say from Peru too), were yellow colored, this is a kind of tomato that the europeans first knew so when the italian got it from the spaniards, they called it pomodoro. Also "ESCUALO" is used in spanish too. Its a word that groups sharks and other sharklike animals (hammerhead etc).

Spanish and Italian language 🥰 most cute, warm and sexy languages at the same time. 😍

[@sauromuma]

Basically Spanish is similar to southern Italian. In fact in South Italy casa has the spanish pronunciation. That directly derives from Latin, it is called "intervocalic s" (S between two vowels) and it could be a "deaf s", basically in Spain and South Italy, because was typical in Latin, or it could be "sweet s "( pronunciation from the italian girl in this video) Like North italians or tuscany people say, and it derives from Celtic influence I guess

[@micheleirl22]

I'm a polyglot, in Italian "cassa" is a wood box, "casa" is house and "scatola" is a cardboard box. 😊😊😊

[@giuseppedamora.]

i'm italian and you are right.

[@ansiaaa]

I was surprised when she said "cassa". it clearly is a "scatola". we also use "cassa" for "registratore di cassa", in english: cash register

[@bossnoeul9332]

Exactly, we don't say cassa, we say scatola.

[@alovioanidio9770]

Spanish is closer to portuguese although the italian pronunciation may seem more familiar. That's mostly because spanish and italian almost don't have vowel reduction on unstressed syllables like portuguese (specially the european one).

[@bilbohob7179]

Southern european, specifically Lisbon. Northern variants don't eat the vowels...

[@alexaxy3328]

Italian is more similar with romanian.

[@alovioanidio9770]

@@alexaxy3328 I don't think so. Italian is more similar to french than to romanian, for example. Italian, however, is the closest national language to romanian.

[@carlosdoriaespitia]

in Spanish we have the word escualo to call sharks, but I have just heard it most of the times in documentaries about wildlife, more like in an academic way.

[@juanguillermoaraujodiazcol449]

@Mithra Bueno Mirtha, no se enoje. Acá en Argentina está lleno de gente de apellidos italianos, costumbres italianas, gestos con las manos y formas de ser parecidas. De hecho muchas de las palabras que se usan provienen del italiano como "laburar". Es obvio que no es lo mismo Buenos Aires que el interior profundo del país. Yo soy de Córdoba, en donde hay muchos descendientes de Italianos pero no son la mayoría. Hay más gente de sangre española como yo, que vendría a ser "criollo". Obvio que también hay mestizos y originarios.

Similar to burro, there's caña/cagna (same pronunciation) and gamba. In Spain if you order a caña and a gamba, they give you a glass of beer and a shrimp. In Italy they give you a female dog and a leg

[@Obelisk57]

Spaniards want to add a vowel in the front (E)strella and Italians want to add a vowel in the back, Fior(e).

[@AIEarth999]

The Italian word for shark comes from the latin word squalus. And tiburón comes from the Carib. Natives itself so it has no latin origin.

[@valeedits7024]

we also dance to tiburon in italy, i never knew what it meant ahahhaha

[@alonzomachiraju6848]

Fun tidbit pertaining to the shark one-there's a town in CA called Tiburon. It's in Marin County and is notable for its views of San Francisco, the Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Also, I got thrown off when she said zumo for jugo because jugo is the word used in the Americas.

[@antgonz4436]

Escualo es a very common word in Spanish, but it is a bit more formal and it is usually used to refer to big ocean mammals (like whales).

[@robert111k]

No. Whales are not escualos. Escualos son los tiburones sólo. But it is a kind o scientific word. In the normal life we sa always "tiburón".

[@luisterrats2290]

No Selachimorpha are sharks and rays. They are not whales when they are said to be sharks.

[@eliane_hong]

throughout the video i was just comparing the different translations between French, Italian and Spanish, and realised words that were similar between spanish and italian were almost the same in french, but on the other hand words that weren’t similar in italian and spanish (like shark) was also completely different in french (which is requin). it’s quite interesting actually

[@alant367]

In French we also have the word squale for requin, i think it’s more formal. So we would definitely understand the Italian word for shark

[@hlb979]

If I recall correctly early tomatoes were a shade of yellow - and not very much edible/enjoyable; they became as they are now because of careful selection; the first tomatoes coming were iirc used more as an ornamental plant; thus the explanation why tomato=golden apple=Pomo d'oro

Star in Galician/Portuguese is in between them, it's estrela (strela is the more archaic form)

[@PropertyOfK]

In Poland we call tomato - pomidor, probably because a lot of vegeatebles were brought to us by Bona Sforza from Italy : ) It's actually interesting how sometimes people speaking different roman languages don't understand each other. I know a bit of spanish (I've been studying it for quite some time, but don't use it that much) - I understand a lot from a different tv series - italian, spanish, portuguese, some french - even without the subtitles, I just see the similarities right away. To my defence I have it with all the languages (remember that english has at least 30% vocabulary from latin) : ) And I did have latin classes in HS, for 2,5 year : D
